Released on November 24, 1998
Labour Minister Joanne Crofford today announced the winners of the
1999 Farm Safety Poster contest. Winning posters are featured in the
1999 Farm Safety Calendar that is being released at Agribition prior
to general distribution across the province.
Thirteen winners were selected from more than 1,600 entries from
school children across Saskatchewan. Crofford congratulated the
winners, adding she is encouraged that students from across
Saskatchewan are becoming more aware of the dangers that exist on the
farm.
"Even one death is too many and even one injury is too painful,"
Crofford said. "We are working with people across Saskatchewan to
help educate students about the risks of farm life, so they stay safe
now and become safer farmers in the future."
Overall grand prize winner was 13-year-old JoAnne Entz from the Haven
Colony School in Fox Valley. The grade six student won for her poster
warning of the dangers of playing near farm machinery. Prizes were
also awarded in each of four categories - machinery safety, yard and
livestock safety, chemical and poisonous gas safety and
electrical/fire safety. The contest was open to students from
Kindergarten to grade nine, with separate categories for Kindergarten
to grade three, grades four to six and grades seven to nine. First
prize winners were awarded $50 and second prize was $25.
